Package : uw-imap
Version : 8:2007f~dfsg-5+deb9u1
CVE ID : CVE-2018-19518
Debian Bug : 914632

Access to IMAP mailboxes through running imapd over rsh and ssh is
now disabled by default in uw-imap, the University of Washington IMAP
Toolkit. Code using the library can enable it with tcp_parameters()
after making sure that the IMAP server name is sanitized.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version
8:2007f~dfsg-5+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your uw-imap packages.
